4 Steps to a Clean, Fresh and Healthy Carpet

Considering on getting your carpet professionally cleaned? It’s a great idea to follow these four simple steps to ensure you receive clean, fresh and healthy carpet.

1. Commit to having your carpet cleaned every 6-12 months.

It’s something we can put off again and again, but every day we put it off, we shorten the life of our carpet. Not to mention we spend another day breathing in dust mite waste, pollens, fungi and other nasties.

2. Identify your carpet cleaning objectives.

Do you just want the surface of your carpet cleaned? Or do you want the dirt, dust mites, bacteria, allergens, pollen and other nasties removed deep down in the carpet fibre?

A cheap option may do for the surface appearance, but it will not provide a deep down clean to leave your carpet smelling fresh, clean and healthy.

Employ a carpet cleaning service that uses the latest proven methods for making your carpet like new, preferably one that uses Hot Water Extraction. This will get rid of the dirt, dust mites, bacteria, allergens, pollen and other nasties living deep down in your carpet. Furthermore, this process will remove the abrasive particles that wear down your carpet over time, making it look dull, lifeless and requiring you to replace it more often!

3. Ask the carpet cleaning company questions.

Make sure you ask the carpet cleaning company questions, such as:

What cleaning method do you use?

What type of equipment do you use?

What will the outcome be for my carpet?

How long until I can walk on it again?

Do you offer any guarantees?

What training do your technicians have?

By finding out the answers to these and other questions you’ll be in the best position to ensure you get good value for money and are pleased with the outcome.

4. Get a quote in writing.

Once you’ve chosen the cleaner that seems the best fit for your needs, ask for a written price quotation to ensure you are both on the same page in terms of number and size of rooms as well as the condition of your carpet.

Your home, business and health are investments! By following these steps you will ensure you get the best possible outcome.
